He leaves behind a statline of 30GP 9G 25A 34PTS, a pace that had he stayed, would smash the league's all-time d-man points record.
There are plenty of great accounts of the game on HF in this thread, basically Jokerit fans love Karlsson long time.
Video of Erik leading the crowd in a cheer post-game is below, as well as an appearance over the speakers of "Varldens Basta Karlsson" aka the Karlsson song!
